Chapter 12
A/N: Sorry it took me forever to post but I was at a funeral back home in NYC just like Lilly. The lady wasn't my aunt however her name was Carolyn and that's where I got the idea. Anyway it took forever to get over it plus I'm helping with a fashion show at my church. My world is demanding much of me! Last chapter so Read, Enjoy, Review!
Over the past three weeks, the Trio had been hanging out just like old times. However there was a distance between them. They went places together, had sleepovers, went to Hannah concerts, and Hollywood parties. But they were quieter now. Miley used to be out there and loud. Lilly and Oliver used to be all giggly and totally dorky. But now they had very little conversation. At the sleepovers, they actually fell asleep! Weird?
Oliver's POV
Things have changed between all of us. And now I feel like it's all me and Miley's fault. She shouldn't have seduced me and I shouldn't have given in. I should have thought more about my beautiful Lilly first. Now I've probably lost her trust and her love forever. And she probably thinks that I stopped loving her and caring about her but I still do love her and care about her very much. Probably more than I did before. And she most likely doesn't want to give me another chance.
Lilly's POV
Goodness! Why did they have to go and screw things up? Now I can't trust my best friend/ ex all because he couldn't control his hormones and she couldn't be a good friend. Now all of us are messed up. We're not the same bunch we used to be. And I still love Oliver. And he probably thinks I am too mad at him to date him again and so he won't ask me out which is also a good thing because I AM too mad at him to go out with him again. That, and, I can't even trust him! Plus, I am going to be in even more trouble if he does ask me out because then I'll have to turn him down. Then both of our hearts will be crushed even more. If that's even possible.
It was a cool Saturday night and even though the Trio usually spent Saturday nights together, they decided that this weekend they needed a break from each other. It was around 7:30 when Lilly returned home from skateboarding around the neighborhood. She stepped into her house and saw that her parents weren't home.
Lilly's POV
Hmm. Ballroom dancing lessons. That's where they are. I made my way to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. I was pondering what to do about Oliver. Should I forgive him or hate him forever and never give him a second chance? But when I entered the kitchen I dropped my skateboard for the remarkable sight before me was incredible. I took off my helmet and elbow and knee pads and dropped them on the floor too. Before me was a trail off lily petals. How sweet. The flowers match my name. They were all over the floor, the table, the top of the refrigerator! I followed them, picking them up as I went, not wanting my parents to see them when they got home in an hour. When I reached the stairs the lily petals led into rose petals! The petals led all the way upstairs into my room. And I found rose petals all over my bed and…what…candles? Then on my dresser was a bouquet of lilies. They were so beautiful. I went to sit on my bed and I heard something crunch. I stood up and saw a piece of paper with a poem on it:
What it's Like to Have Loved and Lost
I didn't realize how much you meant to me
Till that day I betrayed you so unfaithfully
I saw tears in your eyes
And I could've died.
To know that you cried and it was my fault
Sweetie, do you know it tears me apart?
And when I was with you my life was complete
But now that things have changed
My world is cold and bleak
I can't have you as just a friend
I need to hold and kiss you again
But I cannot because you trust me no more
And losing you has made my heart heavy and sore
I caused you so much pain my love
And now I am feeling it too
I hurt and betrayed the one I loved
I loved and I lost
you
Love always,
Oliver
Earlier I was wondering if I should forgive Oliver. I think I have my answer.
